Nikki Haley Blames Trans Visibility for Teen Girls' Suicide Ideation

Speaking in New Hampshire Wednesday morning, Republican presidential aspirant Nikki Haley called transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney “a guy, dressed up like a girl, making fun of women” and blamed trans visibility for teen girls’ suicide ideation.

She also called trans women in women’s sports “the women’s issue of our time.”

...“We’ve got biological boys playing in girls’ sports,” said Haley, who has been governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “It is the women’s issue of our time. Where is everyone? My daughter ran track in high school. I wouldn’t even know how to have that conversation with her. How do we get our girls comfortable with biological boys in their locker room? It’s not OK.”

“Everybody know about Dylan Mulvaney? Bud Light, right?” she continued, referring to Mulvaney’s recent promotional partnership with the beer brand, which sparked right-wing outrage. “Make no mistake: That is a guy, dressed up like a girl, making fun of women. Women don’t act like that. Yet everybody’s wondering why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year? What are we doing to them? We’re supposed to be growing strong girls, confident girls, not ones being made fun of.”

voting rights, gerrymandering, talking control of county and cites that do not agree with rwers effed up ideology, arrest threats against women who miscarriages, arrest threats for women seeking abortions, arrest threats for librarians, arrest threats for wanting to read books, arrest threats for factual education, physical threats for Trans and LGBTQ and talking away their health care, threats against POC, threats against Jews, etc.

Trash the economy, et al. We are being terrorized.

Enough.

The “women’s issue of our time” is that you yourself are a woman who wants to be president and that you’re such a clueless dumbass over what really matters to women in this country.

...because, while she didn't start out as a monster like Trump or DeSantis, she has thrown in her lot with the monsters in a bid for power.

she doesn't have any more scruples than the monsters do. Which makes her just another monster in my book.
